2.0 out of 5 stars far too general, September 10, 2008

This review is from: Welder's Handbook, RevisedHP1513: A Guide to Plasma Cutting, Oxyacetylene, ARC, MIG and TIG Welding (Mass Market Paperback)

this book is only good for a general overview of various processes and techniques. none of the articles are very in depth and all the illustrations and photos is printed in black and white. its a decent review for an experienced welder. if you are serious about welding get an all inclusive in depth text book like Welding Principles and Applications. it will cost you but you will not be diappointed. try to find a used or older edition, the 6th edition is the latest.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent book from start to finish, August 30, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Welder's Handbook (Paperback)

As a recent newcomer to welding, I have discovered this book has taught me a lot of valuable information about the various techniques of the art of welding. The information supplied is well thought out and, combined with useful charts, facts and figures, this book is good enough for the would-be professional and home welder (or weldor!). Read the book to understand.

The only book I have found that covers home and indutrial welding all in one, with this book you can get a head start on welding that it normally takes years to learn. This book is also very helpfull to people who have many years experience and has lots of info matchng rare types of metals to the appropriate welding machine an welding techniques
